Sketches and Stuff

Aw, thanks ^.^

I do have a bunch more stuff, I just need to spend the time to scan them in

And I'd love to see the staircase! Or at least concept sketches if there are any

Mrs. Vulcan · **Sun Apr 16, 2006 6:42 pm**

Looking forward to seeing them.

Regarding the staircase, she still in the talking stage of it and collecting pictures from books at the moment, but I will let you know what she's up to once she gets started on it.

Awesome! It seems like a really neat idea

TrekkieMage · **Sun Apr 16, 2006 9:53 pm**

I finally got my pics scanned in! It took me about an hour or more to get them all scanned, cropped, etc. o.O I'm probably going to break them into a few different posts, just so that they don't get too long.

Oh, and don't mind the lines of the bodies, I left them in for referance so that when I go back in on the computer I can make bases

This one is based off of the character Death in the graphic novel series 'The Sandman' ^.^

More....

I wanted to do a cute one ^.^

I love this one! It's just outside of my norm, so I was really happy that it came out the way it did.

Pretty good work there TrekkieMage!

*Stickkies*

Last one...

So proud of the feathers...

This is based of of Tatania in the series 'The Sandman'. I am so proud of the shading!

This one is my favorite of the bunch by far. It is loosely based off of the style fo Mucha, but not any particular piece. *clings to sketch*

Those are just awesome, Trekkiemage

You definitely have a natural talant that I admire.

I like looking at art from the early stages of its design, so I, for one don't mind seeing the sketch lines.

Oh wow! these are so very pretty! I couldn't even imagine, wow!
You've out done yourself four times over

Are you going to colour any of these in? They would make pretty backgrounds

Mrs. Vulcan · **Wed Apr 19, 2006 2:59 pm**

Art Nouveau fan, then Trekkiemage?

I was sat looking at them and wondering what style they reminded me of, then as soon as I noticed that you had mentioned Mucha... the penny dropped.

A lovely sensual art style. Good choice.

TrekkieMage · **Wed Apr 19, 2006 7:27 pm**

Mrs. Vulcan: Yes I am an Art Nouveau fan

I love the very organic, neo-classical style, it's really inspiring to me.

z-i-p-p-y: Thankies ^.^ I was really proud of this batch, I've been pushing myself to go just outside of my comfort zone (new poses, etc.) so yeah, I'm liking this stuff

TrekkieMage · **Sat Jun 10, 2006 10:58 pm**

Mkay, I just found out that I'm actually getting my new computer next week! Yay! I was thinking it would be the end of the summer...

Anyways, I've been spending the past few weeks working on coloring in one of my sketches on the computer. When I got my scanner I got a slightly better cheap rip-off image editing program. So here's what I did:

The lines are still scratchy around the edges and something is off with the legs/feet (but it's the same way in the sketch), but I think that'll get better with practice

Mrs. Vulcan · **Sun Jun 11, 2006 2:44 am**

Well, what can I say... it's come on really well.

Like you said, the edges are a bit scratchy but the shading and perspective are looking good. She's cute!!

Well done!

Are you going to do any of your other art work?

TrekkieMage · **Sun Jun 11, 2006 4:41 pm**

Thank you ^.^

Hopefully I'm going to do this to some of my other sketches. But I think I'm going to make them a LOT smaller. The size on this one made it tough (I shrunk it a lot before I put it up, it was a lot bigger before).

I'm probably going to hold off until I get my new computer, that way I have more space/better programs and schtuff.

[edit] D'oh! I just realized I forgot the shading under her hair (on her forehead). I was wondering why that looked off

Lord Borg · **Sun Jun 11, 2006 10:07 pm**

This is good stuff! keep up the good work!

TrekkieMage · **Sun Jun 11, 2006 10:43 pm**

Thanks! *preens*

TrekkieMage · **Sat Sep 02, 2006 12:39 am**

I just scanned in another piece I did, I know I haven't posted anything in a while. I figured I'd just continue posting it here, even if it isn't strictly Trek fanart (more Alphonse Mucha fanart

)

And an edit I did of it:

The text is a bit destracting, but I still like it ^-^

Yeah, the site kind of killed the size. Maybe I'll get a better copy up.

z-i-p-p-y · **Wed Dec 20, 2006 3:56 pm**

wow! I really like the colours you've used on the weather witch!
The other one really reminds me of those vintage bags I've seen about

TrekkieMage · **Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:19 pm**

Thanks! I've actually been playing around with crayon and pen a good bit lately and not so much with the colored pencil...although I have a pencil drawing of the hanging gardens of Babylon I should scan in

Thank you!

That was the first drawing I did this school year that I was really happy with.
